Agree, Tanabe Racing medallion is the best Cat back system you can get for an RSX at the moment. Dyno tests have shown an 18hp gain to the wheels.

Would you happen to have a link to that? That's pretty impressive.

No but my mechanic had installed one for an RSX Type-R several months ago and came back with the Dyno Testings. You would assume the almost straight downpipe would play a big role in this..

It's my understanding that 2 1/2" is more than enough if you plan to keep your car N/A. But if you plan to turbo your car, then the 3" piping would be the way to go.
